Could the new Marlins ballpark or the Tampa Bay Rays' Tropicana Field serve as a homeless shelter for the 270 or so nights a year that they're not used for baseball?
If two Florida lawmakers have their way, they might. As reported by the Miami Herald, state legislators have unearthed an obscure law that has not been enforced since it was adopted in 1988. It states that any ballpark or stadium that receives taxpayer money shall serve as a homeless shelter on the dates that it is not in use.

Good use for the facilities.
It’s the sign of the times.
We are officially in World Depression II (WDII).
I agree. Lots of bathroom and shower facilities, food preparation, trash collection, security. Sound good.
Who wants to pay for picking up trash and mopping up poo after the skid row winos have occupied the place?
take a look at the Wisconsin state Capitol to see how this works out.
Uhhh, that’s the Houston Astrodome.
This will be good. Good luck getting the occupiers out on game days.
Second thought: how obscure can a 1988 law be? 1888 (set your flux capacitor accordingly), I could understand, but seriously?
What ever happened to the flop houses of yesteryear?
I’m in favor of this! What could possible go wrong? /s
I think Congressional offices should be homeless shelters when they are out of town.
Sounds like an accident looking for a place to happen.
And didn't Tony Montoyo get a fresh new start on life in one of those tent cities.

The guy on the left (Rocky Echevarria), will always to me be the guy from "¿Qué Pasa, U.S.A.?"
My High School Spanish Class actually went to a taping of one of their shows at the WPBT studios.
Can’t remember how Rocky’s character in Scarface woundup in the end.
Remember when the Dems made the number of homeless and issue in one of the Reagan campaigns?
Why isn’t the GOP going after the increase in the number of homeless under this communist’s administration?

The super-chaperona episode was the one I remember most.
